Job 17:7-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 17

7My eye has also become inexpressive because of grief, And all my body parts are like a shadow. 8The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir himself up against the godless. 9Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And the one who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger. 10But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you. 11My days are past, my plans are torn apart, The wishes of my heart. 12They make night into day, saying, ‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness. 13If I hope for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;
King James Version

Chapter 17

7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 17

7My eyes have grown dim from grief, and my whole body has become but a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are roused against the godless. 9Yet the righteous person will hold to his way, and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.
10But come back and try again, all of you. I will not find a wise man among you. 11My days have slipped by; my plans have been ruined, even the things dear to my heart. 12They turned night into day and made light seem near in the face of darkness. 13If I await Sheol as my home, spread out my bed in darkness,
New Living Translation

Chapter 17

7My eyes are swollen with weeping, and I am but a shadow of my former self. 8The virtuous are horrified when they see me. The innocent rise up against the ungodly. 9The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.
10'As for all of you, come back with a better argument, though I still won’t find a wise man among you. 11My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken. 12These men say that night is day; they claim that the darkness is light. 13What if I go to the grave and make my bed in darkness?
English Standard Version

Chapter 17

7My eye has grown dim from vexation, and all my members are like a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless. 9Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger. 10But you, come on again, all of you, and I shall not find a wise man among you. 11My days are past; my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart. 12They make night into day: ‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’ 13If I hope for Sheol as my house, if I make my bed in darkness,
New International Version

Chapter 17

7My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly.
9Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger. 10"But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you. 11My days have passed, my plans are shattered. Yet the desires of my heart 12turn night into day; in the face of the darkness light is near. 13If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,
New King James Version

Chapter 17

7 My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows. 8Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite. 9Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger. 10“But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you. 11 My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart. 12They change the night into day; ‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness. 13If I wait for the grave as my house, If I make my bed in the darkness,
